SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
- The defect
- Jayco, Inc. (Jayco) is recalling certain Jayco Swift, Swift LI, Entegra Coach Ethos, and Ethos LI motorhomes. The driver seat belt warning light and audible chime may not activate as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- A malfunctioning seat belt warning system can result in improper seat belt use, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- FCA dealers will inspect and replace the driver seat belt buckle as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 14, 2024. Owners may contact Jayco customer service at 1-800-283-8267.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 33 vehicles this is a small campaign: 82% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jayco vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 3 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V893000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 24V762000 (equipment), 24V641000 (back over prevention), 24V218000 (equipment), 24V160000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Jayco, Inc. with NHTSA on May 2, 2024 as campaign 24V312000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
